Correcting problems with the
Extracellular Matrix
This “breakdown and cleaning” period is then
followed by a “rebuilding” period over the next twelve
hours. During this time the extracellular matrix is rebuilt
into a renewed, healthy state so nutrients and signals
can more easily reach the cells and waste products can
be more easily cleared. This daily renewal process,
however, can be damaged.
Some of the current medical theory coming out of
Germany suggests that interfering with the immune
response and inflammation may damage the body's
ability to break down the extracellular matrix. This then
inhibits the body's ability to clean out the toxins and
debris in the extracellular matrix around the cell.
